Engine Next Mod?

Next Mod?

Ok i am kind of out of all the little mods i can do right now. so far I have the following:

Exterior:
Carbon Fiber Taillights
Black Housing Head Lights
Altis Mesh Grill
M3 Mirrors
Debadged
Removed Moldings
17" Black ICW 016 Talons

Interior:
Seat Covers
Panasonic CQ-C8100U Headunit

Suspension:
Sprint 1.8" Lowering Springs
SPR Rear Sturt Bar
Hotchkis Sway Bars

Engine:
AEM CAI
Unorthodox Racing Crank Pulley
Custom 2.25" Cat-back exhaust w/ Magnaflow Muffler

I was thinking about going with the DC Sports Header once it comes out if it is cheaper then the JP one. After that I was going to go ahead and get the TRD S/C + URD Performance Kit. And possibly after that an LSD would be nice it get the power down better. What else do you guys think I should do?

The DC Sports header won't possibly be cheaper than the JP header. The DC Sports header will be CARB exempt, which costs a considerable amount of money (which gets translated to the consumer), whereas the JP header is a non-street-legal piece (at least in California).

How about a TRD front strut bar, a nice set of grounding wires, tint, short shifter, alarm?

I have an automatic so a short shifter is out of the question, i already have tint, i guess i will just wait a few weeks and order the jp header then just save up for the supercharger

Concentrate on the drivetrain. Get a light weight flywheel and an upgraded clutch.

FLYWHEEL??

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS BETTER AND RELIABLE?

FIDANZA>>

WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO UPGRADE THE TQ AND HP :? :?

THNX AGAIN :!:

Lightweight flywheel will help engine response by reducing your rotating mass on the drivetrain, basically freeing up some whp. Downside is that everything gets a lot more sensitive, which can result in a car that isn't very streetable. It's important to get a setup that will keep the car streetable enough for your liking.

If I was doing just drivetrain, i'd get an upgraded flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate all at the same time. Since you gotta pull the transmission, it will just make life easier.

Also, if you upgrade to a lightweight flywheel, get a shortshifter also. The car will be a lot more harder to drive if you can't get it in gear fast enough before the revs drop.

======================================================================

Now, for my opinion:

If I had your car, i'd get a VERY nice suspension setup before I looked at any more power mods. Get some 16x7.5's or 17x7.5's with some GOOD tires, then get the hotchkis stage 2 suspension and upgrade the brakes.

Our cars have plenty of power, it's the suspension that sucks ass.

which flywheel should i get?????

thanx

Well the stock flywheel is 16 pounds. Fidanza is 8.5 pounds, TRD is 10 pounds, MWR is 10.2 pounds.

While i'm no expert on what to get, i'd probably get the TRD one.

thanx a lot

Just FYI, Unorthodox Racing also makes a complete line of transmission upgrade parts for the Corolla. When you choose your clutch, UR also includes a properly-matched clutch cover and pressure plate, release bearing, and alignment tools. They also have a lightened aluminum flywheel (8 lbs, which will make spin up/spin down pretty darn quick). Just another option to consider if you're planning to do a full tranny upgrade.

do you have the website for unorthodox???

Only thing ACT clutch doesn't have is the flywheel. But i'm sure they're gonna come out with one pretty soon.
